This European Standard specifies design requirements for non-powered access installed on cranes.NOTE 1 For other type of access a requirement for information to be supplied is specified.This European Standard covers access to control stations and all access required for maintenance, certain erectionand dismantling operations (see below) and emergency.For those cranes which are intended to be erected and dismantled at their places of work, specific requirements for theaccess needed during these operations are given in the appropriate European Standards for specific crane types.NOTE 2 Specific requirements for access on particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for theparticular crane type.The dimensions given in this European Standard do not take into account the safety distances related to:- guarding;- relative movement between crane and adjacent structure;- hazardous surface temperature;- electrical equipment.The significant hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in clause 4.This European Standard is not applicable to cranes which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN ofthis standard.
